I purchased a VPS by following your link -- it was running some strange linux version.
I ran thru the installer. Lacking docker, it claimed to be trying to install it, but then gave up.
I decided I needed to run ubuntu, and found the racknerds had a ubuntu with docker pre-installed, so I reinstalled linux.
Re-ran the installer. Failed because docker-compose was not installed.
Did an apt install docker-compose and saw some issues preventing it being installed so did a apt upgradeapt update (or whatever -- followed by reboot) and then again installed docker-compose.
Re-ran the install.
Dies with:

Your docker and docker-compose are older versions, and might cause an issue
The docker version I am running is 28.2.2, and the docker compose is 2.36.2
`sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin`

I did manage to get it running by editing the yaml file until it accepted it.
I guess I will re-create the VPS with a later ubuntu and then manually install docker (or perhaps try to rely on the install programme) and then re-install.
